Bills are stronger initially but must continue to grow to win tight games

1 – Sean McDermott: "These guys fought"

After struggling out of the gate at the attack, the Bills fought in the second half of their match of the 6th week against the Texans. Buffalo scored 13 points in the second half unanswered, holding a 13-10 lead while there was only four minutes remaining at the end of the match.

The Bills' defense forced Houston to score a goal in the final run, but a last-minute pick, Jonathan Joseph, gave the Texans a 20-13 win. Although the result was not ideal, Buffalo coach Sean McDermott appreciated his team's resilience on Sunday.

"We continue to develop this football team," McDermott said. "You saw these guys fight. In this type of environment, half the time coming back was a hell of a job for these guys. In the end, it was not good enough to win. So we go back and we work.

"You've seen players who could have done better. These were young players, so we have to develop them. Some of them had their hands on football and we can not fight with penalties. We must learn from it, move forward and continue to grow, and you can not fight. "

2 – Zay Jones "Proud" of Nathan Peterman

Nathan Peterman took the lead of Buffalo in the third quarter of Sunday's game after Josh Allen's injury to the elbow. Peterman played well at first, joining Zay Jones in the back of the end zone to give the Bills a 13-10 lead in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Unfortunately, Peterman would be unable to find the end zone. The sophomore launched two interceptions at the end of the game, including one that was sent off for a touchdown.

Jones, however, was not discouraged by Peterman's performance.

"Nate is resistant," Jones said. "Personally, I'm not worried about Nate. I know how he prepares himself and how he deals with his business. I'm proud of this guy. I know a lot of things have been thrown at him. I know a lot of negativity is spoken of him. But he's a warrior and a warrior and he personally inspires me to make efforts every day.

3 – Nathan Peterman wants to learn from the loss

Although Peterman is obviously unhappy with the outcome of the match, he does not feel as though the team's performance has been without spin-offs. The quarterback thinks he and his teammates will learn from the loss.

"It's difficult," said Peterman. "You put everything you have to win the match. It hurts my teammates. For 60 minutes, everyone gave everything, trying to come here to help us win and did not do it today. I will learn from them and take them from day to day. "

4 – Lorenzo Alexander: "We were better than before"

Buffalo's defense was unbelievably strong on Sunday, limiting the Texans to only 216 yards. The unit defeated Houston Deshaun Watson seven-quarter, a top in the season. The first seven also forced Watson to kick the ball three times.

Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, who recorded 1.5 sacks and an interception that day, has the impression that the Buffalo defense has simply gone beyond the offensive line of the Texans.

"I would not say it was a ploy, I think we felt better in the front," Alexander said. "Obviously, Watson (Deshaun) makes it special with his ability to run and stuff, with the fact that it's a little wrinkled, I think it was in the pocket a little bit more and a little little more hesitant to go out. Obviously, he was still playing a few pieces, but we managed to knock him down, to create escaped forced, obviously, to get an interception of him today, a couple.

"But we have to be able to finish the games, I mean, that's all that matters in the NFL." The games normally last two minutes at the end and we have to find a way to get out of the field and put the ball on the offensive. "

5 – Jordan Poyer on a stellar defensive game

Security in Buffalo Jordan Poyer participated in the take-away party, intercepting a lob Watson in the second quarter. The defensive back has the impression that the defense of the Bills has gained strength and confidence over the games.

"I think we're just starting to get an idea of ​​what they were trying to do in an offensive way," Poyer said. "We took them on their heels, we started to take off football and our D line put pressure on the quarterback and made him make mistakes. I thought we played very well. We left some pieces, but I thought we played very well. "
